Details On Modest Islamic Clothing

By Daphne Bowen


The religion of Islam is greatly associated with the respect of oneself and a lot of modesty. This is mostly seen in the way in which they dress. There are several standards set on the type of clothing one should put on and this varies across the Muslim world in terms of design and colour. The following are details on modest Islamic clothing.

To start with, it is of crucial importance that the types of clothes worn are supposed to be those which reveal as little akin as possible. In fact, the only parts which should be exposed in the case of women are just their faces and hands. This is in accordance to their holy teachings and it sees to it that ladies remain as decent as possible.

The second requirement which applies to both men and women is the looseness of their clothing. They are supposed to put on clothes which do not outline the shape of their body. Skin tights and all types of body- hugging clothes are out of the picture in this case. Some are seen to put on a cloak to cover their ordinary clothes as a way of maintaining decency to its maximum.

One huge challenge faced by this community is the ability to remain conservative and retain their beliefs in a world which is ruled by all types of fashion trends. They are however encouraged to always put their head high and be proud of who they are, not getting swayed by people from other religions and the crazy fashions around them. Both genders are also advised to only wear the types of clothes specified to them.

There are no many shops to access these clothes in the non-Muslim countries. Most people purchase theirs when they go home visiting in the Muslim countries. Also, due to the fact that these designs are not complicated, some sew their clothes just in the comfort of their homes. Online shopping is also coming up as an alternative especially to those who find it hard to travel or sew one of their own.

Most of the clothes are usually not flashy. This is to avoid unnecessary attention. Majority of people from this religion prefer to dress in earth-tone colours such as green, grey, blue and the usual white and black. These however vary across the Muslim world as some countries do not really mind about the colour or the type of fabric used.

Majority of people wonder whether individuals from this religion are extremely comfortable with what they wear. This is due to the fact that Muslims, especially women, are usually all covered up even under the hot scorching sun. They would be amazed to find out that these people are usually adapted to this hence it's not a big issue to them. In addition to that, the clothes are usually loose fitting meaning that they allow a lot of fresh air to flow in.

To sum up the above, most people usually term this mode of Islamic dressing as being old fashioned and boring. However, the Islam community has been able to retain it all through time in memorial and have held it close to their hearts with very high confidence.
